Just a few days after Microsoft and Marvel revealed a special edition Xbox Series X console inspired by Deadpool & Wolverine accompanied by a "cheeky controller" featuring Deadpool's...bottom, the companies have revealed a Wolverine variant to match it. Unveiled in a blog post by Xbox today, the brand new Wolverine custom controller features Logan's comic-accurate yellow and blue costume, and it looks just as "cheeky" as the Deadpool variant.
There's not much difference between the two custom controllers, as the new Wolverine variant simply features the X-Men character's iconic yellow and blue scheme. Here's an image of the Wolverine-inspired Xbox Wireless Controller alongside the Deadpool design:
The blog post also shared a photo of Deadpool advertising the new Wolverine Xbox controller through an actual billboard in Alberta, Canada. “Dear Alberta, your new favorite Xbox controller,” the billboard reads. Beside the message, the Merc with a Mouth can be seen sitting on top of the controller with his legs lying between its cheeks.
How to get the Wolverine Custom Xbox Controller?
Just like the Deadpool Xbox controller, the Wolverine variant will not be available for sale; the only way X-Men and Marvel fans can get one is by joining a special sweepstakes. While the previous sweepstakes was done via X/Twitter, the latest one is being held on Instagram.
To participate, fans must find a post from @Microsoft with the hashtag #MicrosoftCheekySweepstakes, like it, and respond with #MicrosoftCheekySweepstakes. You can check out additional details on Xbox's official website right here. Those who are interested should note that you have to be 18+ to participate in the sweepstakes.
The newly-revealed custom Xbox controller is actually the second one inspired by Wolverine this year. Just a few months ago, Xbox revealed custom designs based on the highly-acclaimed X-Men '97, with designs based on each member of the mutant team, as well as a special console that comes with an exclusive comic. The Wolverine X-Men '97 controller was probably a bit easier to handle because, unlike the Deadpool & Wolverine version, it did not have "cheeky features" on the back of it.
Directed by Shawn Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen among others. The most highly-anticipated Marvel film of the year is scheduled to premiere on July 26.
